While we aim to create experiences that cater to a variety of preferences, we recognize that individual preferences can vary. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we hope your son has many fun adventures in the future!
We saw so much! It was very beautiful and very fun!
Walking the streets of Italy was remarkable and very memorable.
My son had a great experience on his EF Tour to Italy: Venice, Florence and Rome. He had nothing but good stories to tell and everything went seamlessly. The tour guide, Francesco, in Italy, was fantastic and everyone loved him. The accommodations were good in each place. The tours in each city were great and gave the kids a taste a new experiences, history, new culture, and of course, views of beautiful cities. They enjoyed the tours but also had time to do some exploring on their own. I would definitely send my son on another EF Tour. Thank you!
Our son had an amazing time!
Never made it to Venice because of a flight cancellation. One bad hotel, but otherwise it was a great trip.
There was a bus that broke down on the first day and the kids sat on the ground waiting for it to be fixed for over an hr- a complete waste of time- they had to get another bus. They ended up going to a restaurant for dinner bc they missed the dinner at the destination they were supposed to go. The restaurant was apparently good but the time wasted bc of the bus was stressful and quite concerning. It was definitely not a good start of the trip. My daughter said the best part of the trip was the last day.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent trip. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the bus breakdown on the first day. Travel can indeed come with unexpected challenges, and we appreciate your understanding.
We’re glad to hear that the restaurant experience was positive, but we understand that the time added to the day due to the bus delay was stressful.
Your daughter’s enjoyment on the last day is heartening, and we hope the overall memories from the trip remain positive. We value your feedback and will continue striving to improve our services. Thank you!
Italy is a bit overwhelmed with tourists and our trip was not as fun as in the past. There were some memorable things that are no longer included. Such as entrance into important museums and cathedrals. Also the hotels are definitely lower quality.

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback, Sherry. We're glad you enjoyed the tour overall. We hope to travel again with you soon!
Would like to go back and not be on such a tight schedule. Overall a great trip!
Reply from EF Educational Tours
It's wonderful to hear that you had a great trip to Venice, Florence, and Rome! We understand each traveler has their own preference for a balance of activities and downtime. We hope you're able to return another time and enjoy Italy again. Thanks for your review!
It was worth every penny! Everything was timed perfectly. We walked right into museums without waiting in line, transpiration was always ready, and restaurants awaited our arrival. I could never plan this trip on my own. Money well spent!
Great way to discover the world 🌎. I would just be careful who leads the trip . As my first time doing a trip to Venice , Florence and Rome I got to see amazing places yet Group Leaders made this amazing trip into a horrible memory that left us with many regrets about attending with school personnel .
Reply from EF Educational Tours
We're glad to hear that you enjoyed discovering amazing places during your trip to Venice, Florence, and Rome. However, we are deeply sorry to hear that your experience with the school personnel was not up to your expectations and left you with regrets.
As a tour provider, we work closely with schools and organizations to plan and execute the trips, and the selection of chaperones is usually determined by the school or organization. While we do our best to ensure that all aspects of the trip run smoothly, we understand that the behavior and actions of the group leaders can have a significant impact on the overall experience.
We encourage you to share your concerns with the school or organization that organized the trip, as they will be in the best position to address any issues with the group leaders and ensure that future trips are led by individuals who can provide a positive and enjoyable experience for the participants.
We hope that the positive aspects of the trip will still be cherished memories for you. Thank you for traveling with EF Tours.
Amazing experience, amazing chaperones, amazing organization skills.
Extremely rushed
Reply from EF Educational Tours
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience. We are sorry it did not meet expectations. Our itineraries are designed to maximize each student's time abroad and show them what each city has to offer. However, we understand each traveler may have a differing preference when it comes to the pacing of the tour. If you would like to travel on your own as an adult or with your family, EF Go Ahead Tours is a slower paced tour that allows for ample free time to explore.
Angela and China saved the trip! Made it great for the students. EF’s plane operations and new local tour guide vendor is my minus one star.
